Are you ready to lead transformational change at CHAS by harnessing the power of authentic and inspiring
storytelling?
About Us:
At CHAS, we provide unwavering care for children who may die young and their families, at every step on this hardest
of journeys. We make sure that no family in Scotland has to face the death of their child alone. Since launching
our new Strategic Plan in April this year, we’re embarking on our most ambitious journey yet - one that will
transform the experience of children’s palliative care across Scotland for dying children and their families.
Joining CHAS now is more than just a job; it’s about making a profound, lasting difference for generations to
come.
The Role:
We’re seeking a visionary and dynamic Interim Head of Marketing and Communications (maternity cover) to lead our
efforts in bringing this ambitious vision to life, at the cusp of an exciting period of growth and change for
CHAS. You’ll be a key member of the organisation’s leadership team, responsible for leading your team to develop
and execute comprehensive marketing and communications strategies that will raise awareness of CHAS, drive
action in time, money and voice, and support an outstanding experience for all of our stakeholders and
audiences.
About You:
• You’ll have an excellent track record of leading successful marketing and communications teams, particularly
through periods of change and growth.
• You can see the big picture and are adept at translating vision into actionable plans that deliver measurable
results.
• You’re creative and have a knack for excellent storytelling.
• You’re a natural leader who can motivate and empower others to achieve their best and bring others along with you
to support your vision.
• You have excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to craft compelling narratives that
resonate with diverse audiences.
• You are well-versed in the latest digital marketing trends and tools, with a keen understanding of how to harness
their power for good.
• You possess strong PR skills, with experience in media relations, reputation management, and crisis
communications.
• Above all, you’re driven by a deep commitment to making a difference every single day.
Why join us?
This is more than a job—it’s an opportunity to be at the forefront of a transformational journey that will have a
profound impact on children with life-shortening conditions and their families, all across Scotland. You will
have the chance to work with a passionate, dedicated team who are committed to achieving our ambition. Together,
we will create the conditions for success, not just meeting our goals but surpassing them.
If you’re ready to embrace this challenge and lead with passion, we want to hear from you.
